The Weekly Rose

KU management sent a letter outlining their intention to end negotiations and enter a period of forced mediation if the Union does not agree to their 1% raise proposal in 7 days.

I will not otherwise continue to serve under an administration that governs through intimidation, manipulation, and bad-faith tactics. I will also be stepping away from Student Senate for the foreseeable future, as the conduct displayed by prospective candidates and current leadership has contributed to an atmosphere of dysfunction that I refuse to legitimize through continued participation.

In the midst of perhaps the most chaotic and crowded news cycle ever, the story that has consistently cut through the headlines is the slow, agonizing release of the Epstein Files.

The Weekly Rose has received transcripts of two group chats implicated in the ongoing KU Student Senate drama relating to allegations of collusion by members of the Required Student Fee Committee. Is it still a ‘nothing burger’?
